    Had a great time at a very successful event, fundraiser for KingPin! Great entertainment, good food, excellent drinks!

    Just completed a 3-day Argentine Tango Marathon, which took place at the Epicenter Arts over Memorial Day weekend. Working for the fist time with any new venue can be a bit stressful and require lots of extra coordinating to ensure that all the aspects are carefully planned out. I am grateful to Elm, the owner of this wonderful studio, and his staff for going over all the important details and making sure all our needs were addressed and questions answered. At the end, all our dancers, coming to LA from all over the globe to enjoy dancing tango for countless hours, loved the space and loved the overall experience. Thank you, Epicenter Arts! We are hoping to be back next year!

    Nicely decorated Lobby/hallway

    I tried out Epicenter for my first basic kpop dance class and I really loved it! The lobby itself looks very nice and the studio rooms also are a good size with LED lights in them which just adds to the experience. My instructor was Yerson Ochoa and he was amazing! He's such a great dancer, fun, funny, and such a great motivational instructor! He is such a passionate dancer and is very kind to very new beginners like myself who are taking their very first dance class. It was a great experience and I would love to take more classes here!

    Thanks for allowing me to throw a fun, thriving, 30 birthday and enjoy dance with dancers in the community. Props to the hospitality team for helping us make sure things ran smoothly. Was my own event coordinator and party planner. Rented the largest room upstairs. It was a night to remember. Thanks for a memorable day. My family had a great time as well and they came out from all over CA. Thanks Elm for being communicative and understanding with payment plans etc.

    Came here for the annual H4 (Hip Hop Has Hxstory Conference) the event didn't disappoint. Ambiance: Parking: Mainly all street parking and most with limited hours (2 hours). However it seems like it is limitless on weekends. Feels: As for the space itself, it's pretty huge (about 7 rooms). Downstairs has multiple rooms that can probably fit about 40 people but 20 people comfortably. Upstairs is the master room that can house 100 people and the other with 60. It's a cozy yet vibrant space with boogiezone logo. Customer Service: The instructors were friendly and passionate. Good vibes all around. Overall: 5 stars. This may not be the fanciest, biggest, or cleanest but this is the place to be for a dancer. The price is about right and the art, choreo, and people are awesome. Definitely a one of a kind dance scene in LA. TL;DR Tips: * Come early for parking. * DONT BE SHY TO ASK FOR HELP.

    Beginners Step Program-- Learn dance fundamentals, choreography, and perform it.  Saturdays afternoon program.   So much fun!

    See all

    Dancers, parents, and office staff are great. Dance instruction is good, although if you care about…read moreyour dancer's mental health and self-esteem, stay away. The dance team and studio director Jami Gobee puts an enormous amount of stress on these dancers and then criticizes them when they can't handle the stress. She refused to allow any medical accommodations that were provided, and repeatedly told us that she knows more as a dancer than our surgical doctor and therefore wouldn't accept the notes!! Instead of allowing accommodations, she made punishing threats and forced my child to take all of her classes when she was injured and sick. With every request, I received a cold and rigid response like the one copied from the other reviewer. Jami and her dance teachers regularly humiliated and ridiculed my child for her anxiety when they were the root cause of that anxiety, and told her that her dancing was getting worse (I wonder why....). Anxiety increased exponentially during her time at Fusion, and dropped almost instantly once we left. Jami told the entire dance team not to talk to us when we left, which speaks volumes to her character. They are all afraid of this woman. I would love to say that this is a good studio, but Jami creates an unhealthy environment for youth that I would not recommend to anyone. So unfortunate and so misguided.

    I took a technique class with Chelsea Wednesday and I LOVED it. She has high expectations and…read morepushes you to achieve your best. At the end of class, after I am spent, she has us do like a million Sautés then Relevé in first and hold it. She says something to the effect of..... take all that energy and quiet it. That's what makes a dancer, being able to create all that energy and harness it. That resonates with me and I appreciate it. Granted I am bay FAR the oldest in the class, but personally I don't mind it. I find it both nostalgic and inspiring. Overall great studio, and I can see in the girls the fabulous technique they have. Beautiful dancers, and Chelsea is a great teacher!
